property overview

The Taj Boston makes an elegant and friendly base from which to explore the socalled Athens of America.

Known as the Athens of America, due to its 100 colleges and universities, Boston is also celebrated as a center for medicine and its colonial architecture and forward-thinking residents. One of the country’s oldest and historically rich cities, Boston is a walker’s paradise. Situated in the city’s most celebrated location at Arlington and Newbury Streets, the hotel overlooks the Public Garden and is within walking distance of historic sites, theater and financial districts as well as fashionable boutiques and galleries. The Taj specializes in top-notch service and unique amenities, like wood-burning fireplaces, complemented by a wood menu and fireplace butler, and a bath butler. The seasonal Sunday Champagne brunch buffet located atop the Taj with panoramic views of the cityscape is one of the area’s most popular.

"Extremely friendly front desk and dining room team. Stay in the Taj Boston twice per year and yet they still remember me and call me by name upon arrival! It's the personal attention to detail that will keep me returning to the Taj every visit to Boston. "
